1 The time of Ezekiel's prophecy by the river Chebar. 4 His vision of four cherubims and four wheels, 26 and of the glory of God above them.
1 Ezekiel's commission: 6 his instructions. 9 The roll of heavy judgments spread before him.
1 Ezekiel is made to eat the roll. 4 God encourageth him in the discharge of his office: 15 he is carried by the spirit to Tel-abib; and is there admonished of his duty as a watchman to Israel. 22 God farther instructeth him concerning his typical bands, and the shutting and opening of his mouth.
1 The prophet is directed to represent a mock siege of Jerusalem for a sign to the Jews: 4 and to lie before it in one posture for a set number of days, in order to denote the time of their sins for which God did visit: 9 his allotted provisions, with design to prefigure the people's defilement among the Gentiles, 16 and the scarcity they should be reduced to by the siege.
1 Under the type of the prophet's hair, 5 is shewed God's judgment upon Jerusalem, 12 by pestilence, by famine, by the sword, and by dispersion.

1 Under the type of Ezekiel's removing of his household stuff is shewed the captivity of Zedekiah and his people. 17 Under another type of his eating and drinking with trembling and anxiety is signified the consternation of the people and desolation of the land. 21 The prophet reproveth the presumptuous proverb of the Jews: 26 he repeateth the reproof.
1 False prophets reproved, and their daubing with untempered morter; 17 the prophetesses also reproved with their impostures under the title of pillows and kerchiefs.
1 God reproveth those hypocrites, who came to enquire of him with idolatry in their hearts. 6 They are exhorted to repent for fear of his judgments. 12 No intercession shall save the guilty land from God's judgment of famine, 15 noisome beasts, 17 the sword, 19 the pestilence, 21 or from the four judgments together. 22 A remnant shall be left for the instruction and consolation of others.
3 By the unfitness of the vine branch for any work 6 is shewed the utter rejection of Jerusalem.
1 Under the similitude of an helpless exposed infant is represented the original state of Jerusalem, 6 whom God is described to have bred up, married, and treated with kind indulgence: 15 her unnatural whoredoms: 35 God threateneth her with severe judgment: 44 her sin, equal to her mother's, the Hittite, and exceeding that of her sisters, Sodom and Samaria, shall not go unpunished. 60 A promise of mercy in the end.
1 Under the parable of two eagles and a vine, 11 is shewed God's judgment upon Zedekiah for revolting from Babylon to Egypt. 22 A promise of Christ's kingdom.
1 God disalloweth the parable of sour grapes: 5 he sheweth his dealing with a just man, 10 with the wicked son of a just father, 14 and with the just son of a wicked father: 19 he declareth that the treatment of both son and father shall be according to their respective deserts: 21 and that the wicked, if he repent, shall live; 24 but he that revolteth from his righteousness shall die: 25 he defendeth the equity of his dealings: 31 and exhorteth to repentance.
1 A lamentation for the princes of Israel, under the parable of lions' cubs taken in a pit; 10 and for Jerusalem, under the parable of a wasted vine.
1 God refuseth to be consulted by the elders of Israel: 4 he rehearseth the rebellions of their ancestors in Egypt, 13 in the wilderness, 27 and in the promised land: 30 he reproacheth the present generation with the like corrupt manners. 33 He threateneth to rule over them with rigour, but with promise to gather them, to purge out the rebels, and accept the services of the faithful in his church. 45 The destruction of Jerusalem prophesied under the name of a forest.

1 By the parable of a boiling pot is shewed the destruction of Jerusalem, the bloody city. 15 Ezekiel is forbidden to mourn for the death of his wife, 19 to denote that the calamity of the Jews shall be beyond all expressions of sorrow. 25 In that day of affliction the prophet's mouth shall be opened to their conviction.
1 God's vengeance upon the Ammonites, 8 upon Moab and Seir, 12 upon Edom, 15 and upon the Philistines, for their declared malevolence to the Jews.

The judgment of mount Seir for their hatred of Israel, and insulting over their distress.
1 The land of Israel is comforted with a prospect of the ruin of its spiteful neighbours, and of its own blessings promised by God. 16 Israel was rejected for their sin, and shall be restored with blessings for the sake of God's name only.
1 By the resurrection of dry bones the revival of the lost hope of Israel is prefigured. 15 By the uniting of two sticks is shewed the incorporation of Israel with Judah. 21 Their blessings in union under Christ their king.
